Tell me a site that uses flash. I have never come across one. Anyway What's the
identification string for Netscape? Shock site itself refused and said your
browser does not support shock.
Frankly I find concept of browser idiotic now.
Consider this.
You send XML over HTTP instead of HTML. You have a systemwide/per-user database of
available DTDs(Which is of course updated if DTD is not available) and in
independent application is created for each page/set of pages which can maintain
"state"(As opposed to HTML/Web today).
The data e.g. form description is of course XML and the actions are in python. Hell
with java.(like a coffy in a government canteen...)
Why all this? Because I am using an application for office work, that could have
been a standalone application with network database. But they turmed it into web
based, used IIS/ActiveX and it sucks big....

Got to see it sometimes. But I prefer sources. At office, bandwidth is hardly
anything. Also I believe that self compilation is optimal besides I can put that
good stuff on HP machine which does not even come with lynx. I have compiled
literally hundreds of GNU utilities there...

Sure, but I would rather prefer lyx/klyx and other KDE goodies for those arcane
pre-Xt games...
